World Cup 2015 - Complete fixtures

Co-hosts of the 2015 Cricket World Cup, Australia and New Zealand, have been drawn in the same group for the tournament, while title-holders India will play their opening game against long-time rival Pakistan. The tournament kicks off on 14 February 2015 with New Zealand taking on Sri Lanka in Christchurch, the New Zealand city devastated by an earthquake in 2011. On the same day, Australia begin their campaign against arch-rivals England at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which is also the venue for the final to be held on March 29.

Forty-nine matches will be played in 14 venues across the two host nations, with Australia staging 26 games at grounds in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney. New Zealand will host 23 games in seven cities, including Christchurch where international cricket is set to return for the first time since the 6.3-magnitude quake which killed 185 people in 2011. Other New Zealand cities to host games are Auckland, Dunedin, Hamilton, Napier, Nelson and Wellington.

Australia and New Zealand are in Group A along with with England, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and two qualifying teams. Defending champions India are in Group B with Pakistan, South Africa, West Indies, Zimbabwe, Ireland and one other qualifying team. Below are the complete fixtures:

In case Australia and New Zealand qualify, then they'll play their quarter-finals in their respective countries. If Australia and New Zealand clash in semi-finals, then the side that finished higher in the group stage will host the match.
